Yield Makes about 36 pralines, weighing approximately 2 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 9

flavorless vegetable oil for oiling the baking sheets
2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, cut into bits
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/2 cups pecan halves

Steps:

  • Have ready 4 oiled large baking sheets. In a heavy 2-quart saucepan combine the sugars, the cream, the salt, and the cream of tartar, cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring and washing down any sugar crystals clinging to the side with a brush dipped in cold water, until the sugar is dissolved, and boil it over moderately high heat, undisturbed, until a candy thermometer registers 238°F. Remove the pan from the heat, let the mixture cool until the candy thermometer registers 220°F., and stir in the butter and the vanilla. Beat the mixture until it is creamy and stir in the pecan halves. Working quickly, drop the mixture by tablespoon onto the baking sheets and let the pralines cool. Remove the pralines carefully and store them, wrapped individually in wax paper, in airtight container in a cool place. The pralines keep for 2 weeks.

These pralines are a great way to use up leftover nuts. I always have a few bags of nuts in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them in.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The pralines were too hard and didn't have much flavor.

These pralines are a great make-ahead treat. I like to make a batch and then freeze them. They're always a hit when I serve them.

I found this recipe to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
